The critically acclaimed HBO series has given a multiplatform launch to three filmed shorts produced by "Wire" creator David Simon that explore the backstories of some its characters. The three "prequels" already have launched on Amazon.com -- not on its Unbox service but as a free stream available on the page for the DVD set "The Wire: The Complete Fourth Season." In addition, HBO will make all episodes of "Wire" available on VOD one week before their linear premiere (with the exception of the finale). "Wire" is known to be a big draw on VOD, second only to "The Sopranos" among HBO series.http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i35ab2fc2fb51e6e2eff4f5d6d94e9bb1
